MINEOLA - A Nassau County restaurant is now accepting the digital currency Bitcoin.

At Churrasqueira Bairrada in Mineola, Bitcoins are now being accepted as payment along with cash and credit cards. The restaurant's manager, Hector Fonseca, says the currency is simple for diners to use and its value is always increasing.
